Jim-Boy. Thanks, have a nice Day.

Scoob - nice talking to you, but you do get worked up into a lather. Keep the tone in line and people will listen to you. Yes there are a ton of us - small business owners. By my count that would put us at @ 100.
[HD7 General] scoob101:
Thats incredibly patronising. Ironically, you don`t present yourself as someone who listens to anyone.

Small business owners can administer their own machines, so in that scenareo, getting your outlook onto WP7 is a peice of cake. Nobody is being locked out here. I`m sorry, I really don`t get the point are you trying to make.

Look, if you don`t like the concept of cloud computing, but can`t quite work out why, thats fine. You don`t seem to have any compelling arguments to make your case, but its still your choice. Don`t use WP7. Like I said go get an IPhone - its the only smartphone which does direct outlook sync.

I think this disucssion has run its course.
[HD7 General] hmbe:
I wonder why anyone who says something not good about WP7 is bullied by some people in this thread!

So far besides one valid point some people made, it is like some MS agents would like to kill everything negative said about WP7.

Let people complain because a good line of product (at least with regards to sync, apps, etc.) is discontinued or changed without much publicity.

Yes; the idea of sending anything over and to the cloud is not acceptable for many of us. Why can MS not simply bring back these features?

I have read in a lot of threads here and over the net that WP7 even being neat and having some good features is hated for some nonsense like what they have done with sync, outlook, etc.

And just saying you knew it beforehand or you did not do your homework before buying does not change the fact that I for one have spent a lot of money buying and upgrading servers and workstations running MS Ops and office products.

Let people complain when something is not right.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
just because you did not do your homework about a product that was announced LAST YEAR, and then come on here to complain about it instead of contacting MS directly....

and you and quite a few others who did not do their homework, then come on here complaining about missing features that MS said would not be available at launch.

For those of us who did our homework, we have been very happy with our choice and are quite tired of yet another thread complaining about the same missing features instead of you joining one of the other 100 threads about the same complaints, which are not valid by the way, because they were never promised.

Best thing you can do is to sell your hd7 and go buy an hd2 that will do what you think a windows phone should do (all the while freezing and lagging all day long).

:(
[HD7 General] scoob101:
You really should head over to the Microsoft forums if you really want your voice to be heard. Posting here about missing features won`t help you get what you want. If you just want a rant, then by all means rant away, but don`t be surprised when others have a rant back at you!

The great thing about the smartphone marketplace is there really is quote alot of choice out there - certainly more than in the desktop market. Vendors know that, expecially Microsoft, and they are trying their hardest to play catchup and make a product that appeals to the broadest spectrum of users.

So, if you really don`t like something, vote with your feet. If enough people do it, they will listen. The outcry about copy/paste demonstrates that Microsoft can take on board user feedback.

You really can`t please all the people all of the time - but don`t tell us, tell Microsoft.

You could start by posting your feedback here.

[HD7 General] Signo371:
I'm going to be honest with you, buddy. You are not making valid arguments. It's like you're looking at a tree and saying why it makes a terrible toothpick. We let you complain but we also provide reasons why your complaints are irrelevant. I am appalled that you went and bought a smart phone without any idea what it does or how it works. For most users (which MS is catering to) the phone is perfect. It syncs contacts and pictures for ease of use, and for those of us that are paranoid that Big Brother is going to ruin our lives and send the thought police out, we turn off those features.

You honestly are bashing something that does EXACTLY what it says it does. Therefore, your arguments are invalid. MS announced its shortcomings and its strengths. You weren't listening so it is your fault that you're unhappy. Go buy an iPhone because you're clearly not meant for this OS.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
u just don’t like WP7 that all, as everyone have told u that WP7 works as promised and if you have bought the device without knowing what it will do and what it will not (as WM 6.5 devices), YOU are to be blamed...

and if you don’t like the future of computing cloud computing then just take a hike or should I say go and hide under which ever stone you came out from...

Microsoft is launching cloud exchange, cloud office 365, and live office.... so when that happens what you going to do????

and I believe all of you crappy ppl who are *****ing about WP7, you guys don’t even have a WP7 device...
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Phone shops have a returns policy. Try the device, if you don't like it or the way it works, take it back to the shop, get your money back, and try something else.

Spouting your crap on here is not the way to get what you want.
[HD7 General] spmunns:
Ya know, I can't believe the amount of vitriol that is being spewed in this thread. I supposed the person who started this thread thought this was an appropriate forum to voice his criticisms. Obvoiusly he was wrong.

The reason I jumped in, troll that I am, is because you guys seem to think it is fine to bash about someone who sees things differently. It is a shame.

As for my self, worthless opinion as it is, I have, right now, nothing against MS approach to getting things on and off my phone, except that, in some circumstances, it is now harder or incomplete, not easier. I realise it is hard for you critics to believe, and I can see the torches coming now, but it is the case for me.

Again, wrong place to voice the concern. Don't worry, we will go away now and let you guys enjoy the device, thinking all is well.

BTW, are you guys going to be as enthusiastic when, in a few years, you are paying for the cloud... Surely you see that coming; you have thought about why MS is making the changes it is making, haven't you? If you give MS the right to control what and how you put stuff on your phone... oh well, maybe you are right. I am in love with WP7. Screw the dissent.
[HD7 General] scoob101:
How to you think these cloud services get paid for / subsidised today (heres a clue - its advertising) , and why do you think the existing model is going to shift to a subscription model in future?

I still beleive these objections are based on irrational fear.
[HD7 General] rob_p:
Without meaning to be rude or harsh, shouldn't you be disappointed with yourself for buying the phone without researching it's capabilities first?

Everything you list is well known with WP7. It's not like it can't do things it claimed it could. This is a brand new OS, they will release new features over time. If it can't do what you want, then buy another phone that fits your requirements.

Both the HTC hardware, and the MS software are fit for purpose, and I think well put together.
[HD7 General] sbrownla:
I am disappointed in myself for not researching this phone enough because I am usually meticulous when it comes to checking out new devices, yet I totally failed. It's really, really weird how many things I didn't realize I needed until I had the phone for a few days.

What I'm trying to say is that no amount of research could have flagged so many immaturities in the OS, and for those who are okay with a feature phone or who are new to smartphones, or who are very patient and willing to wait until Fall, it is PERFECT.

I'm keeping this sucker though because it's got very, very strong potential--and I got it at an amazing price.

The way I see it, there are 2 or maybe 3 people in this thread complaining about missing features, lack of features, lack of customization, whatever.

There are dozens who've replied attempting to be the voice of reason or explaining why they're not available (granted, some comments may not fall under this category)

2 or 3 people annoyed

Dozens happy

Job well done Microsoft.

They can't please everyone, but they've certainly pleased most.

ha..ha...ha... hilarious..

i am just loving my htc hd7 with wp7.....one of the great OS for the phone.....

i have used more than 3years iphone and i have used Android phone more than 2 years.....i know " howmany times that android phone restarts its own in a day "...and it hangs a lot.....if you compare wp7....android is very slow....

wp7 is - very clean OS...uncluttered...works very fast...the UI is gorgeous ........getting updates flawlessly ....and MS supports all devices ....not like android.

in iphone.....no need to say anything....everyone knows very well its very limited.....and the speed is very slow...it hangs frequently...bla...bla...bla....

but each and every OS has positive and negative.......

cheers

Wise words...

My mate went iphone 4 after being an HTC Android man since the first HTC Android phone... He regretted it ever since always complaining about the phone... I told him to just shutup and sell the fkn thing...
[HD7 General] bkisc:
Even I'm disappointed with my Windows Phone 7, But just to add to the discussion going on here,

I read a lot of folks saying, change your phone, that not possible in so many cases, I've got mine as carrier free, no contract...

Microsoft pushing out Windows for Mobiles, calling it Windows Phone 7, now tell me, If you've been using WM 6.5 and using all the features on a regular basis and suddenly you buy MS WP7 and don't find any of those most important feature present, then there are folks saying "You didn't do research.." Hey, I think it's call Brand Image, and MS is now totally f***ed, atleast with me... Ahh! BTW talk about iphone well, that was the first one, talk about buying iphone 4 and complaining a missing feature iphone 1 had.

WP7 is total failure, I've paid more than USD 500 upfront for MS WP7 hoping, it would be advancement of technologies in 6.5, but No, it doesn't have basic stuff like rotation lock, tethering, nil quality applications, hey even PDF reader doesn't have text search, and list goes on...

For last six months I'm carrying something which is heavier and expensive than cheap nokia but is same in terms of usability, I'll probably keep it and wait for an android ROM update cause I sell it and take a 200 dollar loss, I mean look at what price WP7 phone sell second hand...

microsoft, YOU FAIL ...
[HD7 General] scoob101:
Mods, please lock the thread. This discussion adds no value.

If you have compaints or feature suggestions, head over to the microsoft forums where someone who cares might actually read them.
[HD7 General] hmbe:
Why should this thread be closed?

As a matter of fact XDA-Developers is a place that I get a lot of my information about mobile technology and may be this thread helps other people to realize they get something totally different to their expectation if they buy WP7!

PS: I have written in MS forums and to HTC helpdesk but looks like they do not care much.

Mango

It is a few days my HD7 runs on mango now.

I see many good features. Here is what I experienced:

Reading my texts was surprisingly nice and happened when I was driving so this was one of the best things that has come to WP7. However when I tried to dictate some text back, it first asked me for internet access and when I was finished with my text the device went into continues searching and nothing happened for a few minutes so I stopped and texted using the key board. Tried to do it again with the same results. Besides it did not work, why Microsoft needs to know about my texts remains a privacy concern.

RTL or BIDI languages still not supported and shows character by character and I cannot read websites in those languages.

I did a reset on my device due to a problem that my HD7 loses the battery recharge after I shut my PC(s) down and it is connected and afterwards could not remember my hotmail password so I created a new ID using my phone to install a flash light the next day and now I cannot delete this live ID! May be a reset will solve this problem.

Pretty much everything is the same except everything is a tread now and since I do not do social networking did not explore what is added there.

The menus are changed but for example I do not find it interesting since I have to open the settings menu to get to my favorites on IE.

Synchronization is still immature and it is not clear when and how my phone gets the contacts and calendar from my live account or it is the other way round and have lost some appointments and contacts.
[HD7 General] microhaxo:
Microsoft doesn't care what you're texting. It needs to access the internet to translate your vocal audio to text. It works over the net not locally. Also they use your voice to make the translation more accurate by analyzing it.
[HD7 General] hmbe:
I know they might not care and my texts are nothing special.

Let’s say for example I do not want to neither be a part of an advertisement program nor a victim of identity theft as it happened that I texted some personal data in the past.

I think everybody should be more careful about their privacy. A few days ago I bought a coffee machine and a big corporation would like to almost know the color of the pants I wear in their advertisement program. Why is this any different?

Buy in large as in Wall-E?

I have the same concerns. T-mobile replaced my HD2 with an HD7, no alternatives.

This phone is not designed for those of us who like to customize our front page. I am forced to email excel files or PDF documents to my phone. I don't want or need Skyline, Windows Hot... or Zune. Everything on this phone requires additional steps to accomplish. This is my last Windows phone, I am heading for Android.
[HD7 General] pfurman:
hd7 IS perfect i think you the one iphone boy trying to destroy sth new
[HD7 General] grifter024:
When I first got the phone a week ago I thought I wouldnt like it. I was use to my TP2 and HD2 and liked how I could customize it so seeing as how devs havent really gutted WP7 and made it their own put me off of it immensily.

I was about to take it back but gave it a second chance, I am glad I did. The phone works really well for what it really is...a casual consumer phone.

Its like a daily driven car where you can use it everyday easily without having to worry about anything but if you want to get flashy just bring out your HD2 thats modded.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
I've been having some issues with Serendipity---mostly loving it, but getting some really weird side effects with googlevoice, among other things.

Anyway, the reason I've stuck with Serendipity so far is that the clock app is AMAZING. I fabricated a sexy little wooden dock for my phone, and every night I plug in, turn that app on, tilt landscape and let it be my alarm clock.

I'm sure it's possible to extract that app, but it seems like it's sorta integral to the ROM--if that's possible. I'd like to do something crazy like try firefly + that clock app...

So the short version:

Can that clock app be downloaded somewhere else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdahgary:
Should be. It's AOSP clock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
Thanks for the fast reply. I can find AOSP Clock mentioned all over the place, but no actual place to get the app. Suggestions, anyone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Go grab it off the serendipity kitchen as an add-on. I like the alarm clock too, which seems to take precedence, so I flashed both at the same time in a cwm update. Now I have the "dock clock" that we both like, and the countdown timer/stopwatch/alarm clock that I use extensively too. Both are called "Clock" in the app drawer, with only a subtle icon difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysj:
The clock in the Serendipity kitchen is not the AOSP one it's the Samsung clock.

You might be able to download the AOSP here (didn't try it myself since I'm using the Samsung one)

http://sites.google.com/site/motodroidlife/home/DeskClock.apk?attredirects=0
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
Guys, I'm sorry I'm dense. The clock in serendipity that goes nicely to landscape and then dims to green while plugged in...that's....AOSP or Samsung?

<<Edit>> Ok, so maybe I'm super dumb here. I just bothered to look inside the serendipity rom zip and there's "DeskClockGoogle.apk" sitting right there. I'm assuming that's what I need, gonna flash and find out.

And Edit 2:

Yes, that worked. You can't install it---I copied it to SD card using SwiFTP and then used root explorer to move it to /system/apps/ and that auto installed it. Horray.

I had the same problem too starting yesterday.

After checking device.js downloaded by Rom Manager in sdcard\clockworkmod\download\rommanager.appspot.com\manifests

it seems that the download url mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries is not valid, and it return "Gerrit is moving! Looks like your DNS has not updated yet. Have no fear, it shall in time."

Maybe they're switching hosting server, not sure, and doesn't seems to hear anything about this yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rayne127:
I am having this error as well starting yesterday.

I rooted my phone, had no problems. Flashed Iced Glacier using CWM Recovery. I then used ROM Manager to flash stock recovery so I can charge my phone with the power off.

Last night I reflashed CWM recovery and installed CM7 RC2 on my Mytouch 4g. All is well, however I have been trying to flash stock recovery again so I will be able to charge my phone with the power off, but whenever I try I keep getting the error.

I tried uninstalling ROM Manager and reinstalling, deleting the recovery images on my sd card, reflashing the zip file with 3.0.0.6 and stock in it. Nothing has worked so far and I have yet to find an answer. Any suggestions?
[LG Optimus 2x] Riemen:
I already postet this in the Atrix 4G section, because they have a thread there about this topic. But they are discussing more about the locked bootloader than about overclocking and as we don't have such a thread here, I will start this one.

Perhaps you think overclocking actually does not make much sense on this device atm, as it is really fast, but I always like to get most out of my hardware that is possible.

I dont think, I would enable overclocking for everyday use now, but it would be cool to be able to do so if needed. At 1200 MHz as Nvidia had planned for the Tegra2 3D the Phone would for sure even beat the Omap 4 in Optimus 3D.

I am totaly new to Android and also to Linux, so I am not sure if this is helpful, but I have seen something very interesting in the Optimus 2x review at Anandtech.

I dont know where these variables are stored and what is needed to, but for me it looks as if we are able to change them, overclocking should be possible on the Optimus 2X.

It would be great if some oft the developers here could look into this when the Optimus Speed finally has been shipped…
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
I was wondering the same thing. So i checked other Tegra2 powered devices. And as far as i know none has been overclocked yet. Correct me if am wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
So far no overclock is needed since this phone is reaaaaaaalllly fast.

But I am sure as soon as it needs some extra power developers will figure out how to do it ;)
